"Eidos Kai Tin Emfanisi" ( according to Google Translate ) comes out to mean "Being and Appearance". Several layers of duality here with a reference to the duality of early Greek Philosophy as depicted by Raphael in his classic painting, "The School of Athens". In the centre of the frame we see Plato on the left pointing upward toward the transcendent world of ideal form, while his brightest student, Aristotle points out toward the manifest world sense of perception. Here, in a nutshell is the essence of all Western philosophical dialgoue - Being or Appearance ?
A single Pano-Sabotage photograph, processed in several different ways, layered, Gaussian blurred and cropped along with the inclusion of text as a drawing element and a black and white reproduction of Raphael's "School of Athens".
